Python Social Auth get Google avatar

Question

Is there a way to get the Google profile picture url using python social auth?

So, this is what I do for facebook and twitter, add a pipeline with this code:

    if strategy.backend.name == 'facebook':
        url = 'http://graph.facebook.com/{0}/picture'.format(response['id'])

    elif strategy.backend.name == "twitter":
        if response['profile_image_url'] != '':
            url = response['profile_image_url']

    elif strategy.backend.name == "GoogleOAuth2":  # doesn't work
        user_id = response['id']
        url = "???"

First, I don't know what is the name of the backend, is it "GoogleOAuth2"? Second, what is the url I should use to save the profile's avatar?. Is this the way?

Answer 1

from social.backends.google import GoogleOAuth2

def save_profile(backend, user, response, *args, **kwargs):
    if isinstance(backend, GoogleOAuth2):
        if response.get('image') and response['image'].get('url'):
            url = response['image'].get('url')
            ext = url.split('.')[-1]
            user.avatar.save(
               '{0}.{1}'.format('avatar', ext),
               ContentFile(urllib2.urlopen(url).read()),
               save=False
            )
            user.save()
